I am on a quest to change my life by losing 100 pounds and becoming healthy and fit. My plan involves counting calories with My Fitness Pal, keto and working out. I'm not striving for skinny, I'm striving for fit!

Week One Low Carb - Thursday Check-In (Month One)

Three pounds down! Wow! I was told I'd lose a nice chunk of weight and I read about it as well but I still didn't expect it. It was great to see the scale dip that low for the first time in about a year and I will definitely keep going! I know the weight loss will slow down but this is really inspiring me to work even harder!

I have a couple of goals for this coming week. I want to up my protein to over what it was this week (it ranged between 75 and 90 grams) and add more vegetables. I also plan to keep my carbs under 45 the way I have been but dropping them a little as well would be fine. And I really want to get back to the gym. I've been able to do some of the exercises here at home but I've been so wiped out exhausted that not much of that has happened. I'm planning for a minimum of 4 gym sessions this coming week (hopefully more though).

I'm taking meal planning a few days a time right now. So far I have meals planned out for this weekend and Monday I can plan some more. Anything more that is just too much right now.

I also need to decide if I want to take progress photos every ten pounds or not because if I do I need to get new photos this weekend. That was my original plan but we'll see.

I think that's all I have for now but, woohoo for a great weight loss week!
